They have been working on this QT for a couple months now. The fuel canopy in front is almost done and the convenience store is almost at a "dry-in" stage. Next time I'm in the area I will try to grab a couple photos

Let me know the exit number as I will be stopping there in Sept hopefully open by then.

You'll be on I40 and not I65, right?  Exit 239 Watertown.  Take a left onto HWY 70...you can't miss the sign from the interstate.  Imminently opening.

Today this evening from News Channel 5. 
Red tower crane is up in Gallatin. What is for?  Did I miss something? 

My guess is they are about to build a parking garage with office or store fronts facing the street. Just my guess when I drove by last week.

Just curious why Wilson County isn't included in the thread's title.  There's a lot more going on in Wilson than in Cheatham or Dickson counties.

[smeagolsfree]

It is actually all of the surrounding counties. Just consider it an oversight. It is just easier to have all of the counties that ring Nashville  and that are growing in MD TN included in one thread. This also includes Montgomery, Maury, and Putnam too. Daniel did this on the fly last Night and no one was intentionally left out.

Work is about 25% complete on the Facebook Data Center (982,000 sq. ft.) in Gallatin.  A 2023 opening is on schedule.

The scale of the work is hard to capture. Each leg of that "H" is as long as an aircraft carrier, or roughly four football fields. The project requires so much concrete that SRM Concrete, or Smyrna Ready Mix LLC, erected a concrete-making "batch plant" on the property.

That's because this is old news.  It was announced at the end of 2018 and was discussed in the Cookeville thread.  Covid delayed everything, but groundbreaking should be next month sometime.

The Enclave at Providence Apartments (3 stories, 296 units) is underway at I-40/Central Pike interchange in Mt. Juliet (Wilson County). It is being developed by Cumberland Advisors and should be complete by early 2023. 

As part of its apartment project, Cumberland Advisors is paying to extend Providence Parkway to Central Pike, which runs perpendicular less than a mile away. Road work is expected to finish out by the end of the year.

The red lines represent the estimated extension of Providence Parkway. Is the "?" in the correct location for the development? There is still a lot of potential along this stretch of road.

Not sure of the EXACT spot, but the project will be in this area.

Your red lines indicate the approximate beginning and end of the widening project for South Mount Juliet Road. Providence Parkway will be extended west from South Mount Juliet Road to Central Pike near where the new I-40 interchange is planned. (Google Maps screenshot to show the current Providence Parkway on the east side of South Mount Juliet Road.)

Here’s a rendering from The Tennessean in June 2020, showing the Providence Parkway extension to Central Pike. I don’t know if any of the details of the development have changed since that time.

Thanks for correcting the location. My apologies for misunderstanding that.

That being said it is a very ambitious expansion of that busy area around there. Taking that rendering and working through the Google Map aerial shows a ton of wooded land. This also makes more sense regarding the Central Pike interchange that Mark posted about back in November of 2018 (yellow square). The saddest thing about the whole expansion is just how much asphalt parking lots are present. They could have a lot more rentable square footage if they went structured parking. Maybe even possibly more open, green space (gosh how could I say those words haha)

Williamson County: Puckett's Grocery (nearly 70 years old) in Leiper's Fork will be saved by Aubrey Preston, and kept in its current state (with a few improvements/updates), including the concerts.  He purchased it for close to $2 million.

^^Someone’s gonna need to build a statue of Aubrey Preston one day.  Guy has singlehandedly bought and saved so many buildings and land in the Nashville Metro area that I’m pretty sure you’d need more than 10 fingers and 10 toes to count them all on.

This is great news , for job growth and growth of Wilson County in general! The location is actually in the Gladeville area, just one exit off of I-840 from the Superspeedway. This stretch of interstate is becoming more interesting as these huge distribution centers keep coming. I’m wondering when we will start seeing housing and restaurants/ retailers start to build around these exits. There has to be close to if not over 10,000 people working between all of the companies in this area. Surely they need to eat and pickup groceries etc.
